The peripheral manufacturer responsible for bringing back the Xbox ‘Duke’ controller is now doing the same with the Xbox 360 controller

Because it’s being created with the Xbox Series X/S in mind, the Xenon isn’t a perfect facsimile of the Xbox 360 controller, since some modifications are required.

The Start and Back buttons have now been replaced with the Menu and View buttons seen on a modern Xbox Series X/S controller. A Share button has also been included in the middle of the controller, ensuring it doesn’t offer less functionality than a standard Series X/S controller.The controller name comes from theThe original version of the Xbox 360 WirelessIn 2018, Hyperkin released an officially licensed replica of the ‘Duke’, the original Xbox controller which was infamous for being rather large.

Although the controller was heavily criticised at the time, its designer Seamus Blackley contacted Xbox heada decade and a half later and pitched an idea to bring it back, to which Spencer agreed. The re-released Duke also saw some button tweaks to make it more compatible with the Xbox One, and also had an OLED screen in the middle which showed the Xbox boot-up animation when the controller was switched on.

Wired only, who cares

I still have mine. The left stick drifts once in awhile but it works.

They should do another Duke Controller but with bluetooth.

Hold on. Gotta take my blood pressure medication because I feel 100 years old now. 💀

Why?

So it's a 360 controller with Bluetooth? Based

Don't expect quality, their Duke was TURD!

Looks great but why can't they at least do bluetooth or something.

Wish it was also compatible with the original 360 since official controllers are rare now or you end up with cheap knock-offs

They’re removing the share button from Series controllers? 🤣

The X360 controller was pretty much the best designed controller of all the Microsoft ones, IMO. And if this doesn’t make loud clickity-clackity noises like the Xbox One and Xbox Series controllers, I’ll buy multiples!

Worst dpad for fighting games to exist

LETS GOOOO

The duality of man

Sign me up. The 360 controller is still the best one to date ever. I have like 4 but the wireless receiver for PC won't detect them anymore and the battery packs won't work either.

W, I need this pad back for Street Fighter again

Don't remake that D pad tho. It was horrible.

👀

Y a casa te vendrás 💚

Thank you Jesus... The only Xbox controller where it 'just worked' for me. I loved the d-pad... Especially for Street Fighter.
